1. Working with one yard of thread and a needle, thread an even number of Matubo 10/0 seed beads. You will need enough seed beads to fit around the rivoli. We used 28 seed beads. Loop your thread back around through the beads to form a circle and tie a knot in your thread.
2. Add two rows of Matubo seed beads. The first ring of beads you added will be the first two rows so you will have a total of four rows of Matubo seed beads.
3. Add two rows of 15/0 seed beads. This will be the front of your peyote bezel. Place the rivoli inside the now forming bezel, with the front of the rivoli facing the rows of 15/0 seed beads you just added.
4. Position your thread so that it is coming out of the last row of Matubo 10/0 seed beads on the other side of the bezel. Add three rows of 15/0 seed beads over the back of the rivoli.
5. Position your thread so that it is coming out of one of the 10/0 beads in the second row from the front of the bezel.
6. Add a 15/0 seed bead, an 8/0 Preciosa seed bead, and a 15/0 seed bead. Bring the thread through the next bead over in the same row of 10/0 seed beads. Continue this pattern until you’ve added 5 fringe pieces to your peyote bezel.
7. Position your thread at the top of your bezel, directly opposite from your center fringe piece. Stitch on an earwire by looping your thread around the loop of your earwire several times. Make sure the front of the earring is facing the front of the peyote bezel. Weave your thread back into the peyote bezel to secure and trim.
8. Repeat these steps to make the other earring.
